The City of Henderson has launched a campaign “to inspire unconditional love” for the place that Henderson residents call home.
The outline of a heart, followed by the word “Henderson,” ending with a period. Put into words, it’s “Love-Henderson-Period.” And City Manager/City Attorney Hassan T. Kingsberry told WIZS News that it’s a campaign that’s being revived now “to instill love, unity and pride in our city because it’s vital to progress.”
The idea has been around awhile, and Kingsberry credits Police Chief Marcus Barrow with its creation. It’s one that Kingsberry said he likes, and he’s getting behind its hopeful resurgence.
He said the city’s department heads support it, too. The City Council heard some details about the campaign at a recent meeting, during which Kingsberry said he recommended bringing back the idea to them at that time.
The text below is a press release, dated June 1, from the City of Henderson:
“A heart and a period. That’s the symbol and the statement at the center of Henderson’s newest community-wide movement: This bold and heartfelt campaign invites every resident, business, and organization to join in a renewed commitment to love Henderson unconditionally.
The campaign’s message is clear:
‘To love our city unconditionally, where peace prevails in our hearts, progress drives our collective efforts, and pride in our shared vision fuels unity. If we simply love our city without condition, prosperity is no longer just a goal but a promise to each other to uphold a set of values, ensuring a future where everyone thrives together in harmony’
What It Means:
At its core, the campaign celebrates:
- Peace– creating a community where respect, kindness, and safety flourish.
- Progress– working together toward innovation, inclusion, and opportunity.
- Pride– recognizing that our differences are a strength, not a divide.
- Prosperity– building a thriving future for all who call Henderson home.
Love-Henderson-Period is more than a slogan; it’s a call to action. It asks us to show up for our city, to love it without conditions or exceptions, and to take ownership of the future we all want to see.
